This middle grade debut is Sleeping Beauty like you've never seen it before, about a girl who lives in the shadow of her older sister and the curse that has haunted her from birth.
For years, Briony has lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Rosalin, and the curse that has haunted her from birth--that on the day of her sixteenth birthday she would prick her finger on a spindle and cause everyone in the castle to fall into a 100-year sleep. When the day the curse is set to fall over the kingdom finally arrives, nothing--not even Briony--can stop its evil magic.
You know the story.
But here's something you don't know. When Briony finally wakes up, it's up to her to find out what's really going on, and to save her family and friends from the murderous Thornwood. But who is going to listen to her? This is a story of sisterhood, of friendship, and of the ability of even little sisters to forge their own destiny. The first in a three-book series of fairy tale retellings, these are the stories of the siblings who never made it into the storybook.

Mói - Hrekkjusvín eða misskilinn snillingur
Flestir snillingar mannkynssögunnar hafa verið misskildir. Í raun hefur enginn kunnað að meta þá fyrr en þeir eru löngu dauðir. Það segir pabbi að minnsta kosti. Ég held að ég sé einn af þeim.
Mói hrekkjusvín er eyrnastór götustrákur sem heitir reyndar fullu nafni Marteinn Jörundur Marteinsson. Besti vinur hans, Byssu-Jói, risavaxinn leynikúreki og verndari Móa, er aldrei langt undan, nagar puntstrá, tyggur tóbak og segir: „Ó boj, MÓI!“.
Mói fær óteljandi hugmyndir, flestar frábærar og aðeins örfáar sem eru ekkert sérstakar. Hann reynir að sigla á ísjaka til Ameríku og búa til heimagerð nagladekk. Stundum er svo mikið að gera hjá honum að hann gleymir skólatöskunni í skólanum.
Stundum bjargar hann lífi fólks hinu megin á hnettinum en samt fara allir á taugum þegar hann skrúfar í sundur raftæki eða hristir nokkra gosflöskur.
Einu sinni á ári fá allar mömmur hrekkjusvína á Íslandi nóg af þeim. Þá senda þær villingana sína á landsmót hrekkjusvína við Jötnatjörn. Mömmurnar hvíla sig og hrekkjusvínin læra bænir og góða siði.
Þegar Mói hrekkjusvín, Orri prestsins og Byssu-Jói fara á kreik getur hvað sem er gerst, draugar fara á stjá í kirkjunni, peningar hverfa úr söfnunarbauknum og moldríkir kúrekar gera allt vitlaust í bíó. Allir þrír hlakka til að fara á landsmót hrekkjusvína við Jötnatjörn og á meðan er rólegt í bænum.
